Welcome to our community! I’d like to share a few reasons why I feel Gettysburg College is the best place to work. The people here would have to top my list. Everyone I have ever encountered is friendly, supportive, and willing to help. There is a real sense of teamwork campus wide, with helping our students succeed as a common goal. There is flexibility which allows you to be productive in your position, but also maintain your family life. I am especially grateful for the excellent benefits, including a tuition allowance for you and your dependents, medical and dental plans, as well as a retirement plan. Our Wellness Program is a model for the area and offers various programs to improve your health and well-being, and our beautiful new “Center” is a great place to get fit with state-of-the-art equipment and a regulation-size pool. Our library is the perfect resource for books, DVDs, journals, etc. and if we don’t own it, our interlibrary loan program can probably get it for you. There is also a digital center in the library with equipment that can be used for that special project. So, I hope as you settle into your new position on campus, you’ll begin to enjoy the resources available to us and realize what a great place this is to work! Sue Holz, Academic Administrative Assistant
